Injoos Principles

Injoos was conceptualized and built with the community (Organization or Business) at the core of the solution to make it easy to share relevant information among people who share an aspect of your identity. We are concerned about your privacy and understand that you may not want everyone in the world to have access to the personal information that you share on Injoos.

Injoos allows you to control the information that you provide and share with the world. Our default privacy settings limit the information displayed on your profile to your communities.

Injoos follows the following principle  -  You should have control over your personal information. Only the people in your Network can view the Member profiles and feeds

Each company or organization on Injoos lives in a separate Network that assures the privacy of its Members and the User Content posted in that Network. Here’s how it works:

Your Network can be defined by your company or organization’s email domain. For example, all users who sign up with a “business.com” email address would be part of the business.com network. To join a Network, you must confirm your email address.

Network administrators can also remove a user at any time.

We don’t share your private information with advertisers or third parties. This includes your email address and the email addresses of others in your Network.

Companies who buy the paid version can impose additional security requirements, such as secure sessions, password policies, and restricting access to the IP range of their VPN.

For Networks belonging to Companies and organizations, they own the User Content created by their employees. For other networks, Users own their own User Content. Injoos does not own User Content. Network Administrators can request that messages posted to their Network be securely exported to a company designated destination for archival and backup purposes.

Injoos’s administrative tools do not allow our employees to view messages in a Network. Access to our database is granted only to our technicians on a case-by-case basis to troubleshoot specific technical issues, or as may be required by law. Each such instance is logged.

Injoos has instituted measures to protect the security of each Network’s data.

Sharing your information with third parties

Injoos is about sharing information with colleagues and other people in your networks — while providing you with privacy settings that restrict other users from accessing your information. We allow you to choose the information you provide to colleagues and networks through Injoos. Our architecture and your privacy settings allow you to make informed choices about who has access to your information. We do not provide contact information to third party marketers without your permission. We share your information with third parties only in limited circumstances where we believe such sharing is 1) reasonably necessary to offer the service, 2) legally required or, 3) permitted by you. For example:

1. Unlike most sites on the Web, Injoos limits access to site information by third party search engine “crawlers” (e.g. Google, Yahoo, MSN, Ask). Injoos takes action to block access by these engines to personal information beyond your name, profile picture, and limited aggregated data about your profile or a few features that will allow for such an access. These features will be annonced from time-to-time, either to the email you have given or witin Injoos.
2. We may provide information to service providers to help us bring you the services we offer. Specifically, we may use third parties to facilitate our business, such as to host the service at a co-location facility for servers, to send out email updates about Injoos, to remove repetitive information from our user lists, to process payments for products or services, or to provide search results or links (including sponsored links). In connection with these offerings and business operations, our service providers may have access to your personal information for use for a limited time in connection with these business activities. Where we utilize third parties for the processing of any personal information, we implement reasonable contractual and technical protections limiting the use of that information to the Injoos-specified purposes.
3. We may be required to disclose user information pursuant to lawful requests, such as subpoenas or court orders, or in compliance with applicable laws. We do not reveal information until we have a good faith belief that an information request by law enforcement or private litigants meets applicable legal standards. Additionally, we may share account or other information when we believe it is necessary to comply with law, to protect our interests or property, to prevent fraud or other illegal activity perpetrated through the Injoos service or using the Injoos name, or to prevent imminent bodily harm. This may include sharing information with other companies, lawyers, agents or government agencies.
4. We may offer stores or provide services jointly with other companies on Injoos. You can tell when another company is involved in any store or service provided on Injoos, and we may share customer information with that company in connection with your use of that store or service.
5. Like many other websites that interact with third party sites, we may receive some information even if you are logged out from Injoos, or that pertains to non-Injoos users, from those sites in conjunction with the technical operation of the system. In cases where Injoos receives information on users that are not logged in, or on non-Injoos users, we do not attempt to associate it with individual Injoos accounts and will discard it.
6. If the ownership of all or substantially all of the Injoos business, or individual business units owned by Injoos Web Solutions Pvt Ltd, were to change, your user information may be transferred to the new owner of the business so that service can continue operations. In any such transfer of information, your user information would remain subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Policy.

We may provide our advertisers with information about you, your community and other visitors that will enable our advertisers to better target ads to specific types of visitors. We reserve the right to use and to disclose to third parties all of the information that we collect online about you and other visitors in any way and for any purpose, with one important exception. We will not use the information that we collect online from you while you are using the Site, nor will we authorize third parties to use such information, to mail or email promotional offers directly to you unless you have specifically informed us that you would like to receive promotional offers from us and/or from third parties. If you choose to receive these promotional offers, then your information may be used for direct mail or email marketing. However, you will be given the option of optin out of this programme by clicking the unsubcribe link or by sending us an email to contactus@injoos.com

Injoos site reserves the right to disclose personally identifiable information and/or non-personally-identifiable information that Injoos believes, in good faith, is appropriate or necessary to enforce our Terms of Use, take precautions against liability, to investigate and defend itself against any third-party claims or allegations, to assist government enforcement agencies, to protect the security or integrity of our web site, and to protect the rights, property, or personal safety of Injoos, our users / members or others.
